How we evaluate applications

At Morris, we want to get to know you as an applicant. This is why we look at a full range of factors, and why we encourage you to visit and meet with an admissions counselor. Here’s a list of the aspects we consider.

Primary review factors:

Successful school performance, including high school or college coursework, grades received, high school rank percentile (if calculated) and grade point average

Standardized test scores, including ACT and/or SAT

Successful completion of a college preparatory curriculum

Strength of the curriculum through high school graduation, including courses that exceed the core subject requirements and any advanced courses (e.g., honors, AP, IB, college level)

Secondary review factors:

ACT/SAT writing test results

Letters of recommendation

Personal interview

Evidence of exceptional achievement, aptitude, or personal accomplishment not reflected in the academic record or standardized test scores
